Resort-Based Farm Dining

Cinnamon Bentota Beach – Signature Selection features a resort-based farm-to-fork initiative through its Addarahena program, reflecting a structured commitment to sustainable tourism and responsible hospitality. The initiative integrates environmental stewardship, local sourcing, and community engagement into the resort’s culinary and operational practices, aligning with broader sustainability goals within Sri Lanka’s tourism sector.

Central to the program is a direct supply link between the resort’s organic farm and its kitchens, providing fresh, seasonal produce while reducing food miles and supporting resource-efficient food systems. This approach enhances transparency in sourcing and strengthens relationships with the local community. Guests may also participate in guided harvesting activities, offering insight into agricultural practices and food origins.

The initiative is further expressed through the resort’s dining concept, 'Ambula,' which highlights traditional Sri Lankan cuisine and local culinary techniques. By prioritizing local ingredients and cultural authenticity, the program supports environmental conservation, community development, and meaningful guest experiences rooted in sustainability.
